A jagged, distressed display face with sharp terminals, torn-looking edges, and occasional drip-like descenders that suggest bleeding ink. Strokes alternate between thick, blunt masses and thin, needle-like points, creating lively internal contrast and a restless texture. The letterforms are mostly upright with uneven contours and slightly irregular widths, producing a handmade, weathered rhythm that reads as intentionally rough rather than geometric. Counters are often tight and irregular, and the overall silhouette feels fragmented and organic, especially in letters with long verticals.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, title cards, posters, and packaging where a dramatic horror atmosphere is desired. It’s well suited to seasonal promotions, haunted attractions, film or game branding, and punchy pull quotes, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror posters, haunted-house signage, and occult or gothic ephemera. Its scratchy, melting details add tension and unease, making even simple words feel charged and uncanny.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed, inked lettering with sharp, fear-inducing silhouettes and subtle drip effects, prioritizing mood and immediacy over pristine regularity. It aims to deliver instant genre signaling through rough texture, exaggerated terminals, and a dark overall presence.
The texture becomes denser in paragraph-like settings, where the ragged edges and pointed terminals create a dark, noisy color. Numerals and capitals carry strong personality for titles, while the more irregular lowercase shapes add a jittery, hand-rendered flavor.
